 Kal gets the energy for his main powers from the original Superman Kal-El and Earth's Super-Sun, resulting in him gradually losing his powers when he is in the past.This future descendant of Superman has stated that he himself is "Faster than a speeding Tachyon, more powerful than a collapsing star, and able to leap between planets in a single bound".When trapped in the 20th century, he displayed the ability to punch his way through time using the basic time portal Steel had assembled using plans acquired from the Lord of Time, although this was exhausting and nearly drained him down to the last dregs of his power before he reached his home century.
